    Picking up my M923A2 this weekend

    The A2's were just made from 1989 to 1992. Has the private party gone through it or are they just flipping a GL truck? If the owner has gone thru it and owned it for awhile it may be good to go.....

    what years did they make the M923A2

    It is my understanding they made them for 4 years. 1989 to 1992 by BMY of Harsco. I think they made them in Ohio.

    Army Base Closings, now to 2020

    This was on the radio and TV news here last week for a few days. They were stating the worst case scenario for this area is possibly losing 16,000 soldiers at Ft. Carson. We shall see.

    Proper procedure for filling 8.3 engine oil

    "Probably because its not a 923, its a 932 with a custom shortened bed." Oh. okay. my bad.

    Proper procedure for filling 8.3 engine oil

    I changed the oil on mine. Nothing special, just pour the oil in, 5.5 or 5.75 gallons, cant remember. Just curious, why do you mention the dropside bed on your vehicle description, they all had that on the 923a2's but they are 14.5 ft long.

    just for entertainment.....I was trying to disable the front axle engagement washer on the linkage and the truck apparently moved while I had the linkage undone. it is stuck in neutral and we dragged it forward while trying to push the shaft back into the transfer case for high range. could...

    Taking my M109 from Minneapolis to Crested Butte CO would love some contacts

    I think you will be fine whatever route you take. There are slow motorhomes out there too on the hills and the highways have pullouts for slower vehicles and sometimes an extra lane added for the uphill sections. take lots of pics and post them. Best of luck.

    should i buy a 2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    You really need to do a walk around and drive these things before you spend a lot of money, or any money. I have owned two deuces and on my second M923a2. The M923a2 is a monster. when you walk by the back tires you think you are standing by a large road grader. the truck is also wider than...

    Four Wheeler article on the Deuce.

    Read the article.... the two I owned did 55 mph, totally stock on 10 tires, NDT's. They were built by 7 different manufacturers between 1953 and 1989. Guess it is good to get some of the info out there in magazines/websites.

    Black bumper and guard or all 383 Green?

    guess it depends what you are going to use it for, do you want authenticity for parades and displays or the truck is just for other fun stuff... the black parts you are talking about usually look good on the trucks. the black I have used is Rustoleum professional flat black in a taller than...

    Nice truck. These were built from 1989 to 1992 in Ohio.

    It's been one year since we started this hobby...

    You have done a great job. Vets really like the deuces that they can relate to. My friend and I now have moved onto the 939 series 5 tons and we notice the vets we work with in parades, Marine Corps League, really cannot relate to these giant trucks they did not serve with. The crowds do...

    Took delivery of my M923A2!

    Is your CTIS working? once you let it run for about 15 mins, does just the Highway lite stay on and you can hear the system cycling (farting noise as it bleeds off air). The valve in the truck there makes noises like some air breathing machine in a hospital room as the system cycles and it...

    Newbie Needs Help with Purchase

    Welcome. You can pick up a lot of pricing knowledge by looking on Craigslist, Ebay, and watching some GL auctions. You will help yourself if you identify what area and state you are from, people will then know here if it is worth responding to you about a truck they might have for sale, etc...

    Denver to Minnesota on a motorcycle, then back with the 5 ton

    I rented a car and drove out to Nellis AFB in NV with a friend and drove one back home 860 miles. I brought tools and fluids and extra bulbs. Needed to change out a tailite bulb right away. It started right up, had to air up the tires, canvas cab leading edge starting tearing so had to duct...

    BMY Colorado Title?

    For my most recent one, they put "TRUK" under the 'Make'. They seemed to have to force it thru the system to get it done sine it doesn't have a 17 character VIN either.
